HB 2243 adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism for use by Oklahoma state agencies. It requires state departments to consider antisemitism as evidence of discriminatory intent under existing laws prohibiting discrimination based on religion, race, or national origin. The bill does not create new discrimination protections or penalties but clarifies how state agencies should apply current anti-discrimination laws when addressing antisemitic acts. It explicitly states the law does not override the First Amendment, federal laws, or other existing protections. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025.
